FORTRAN 90 Interface

Generic:                              CALL MATEE (Q, ISYM, IPER, EVAL [,…])

Specific:                             The specific interface names are S_MATEE and D_MATEE.

FORTRAN 77 Interface

Single:                                CALL MATEE (Q, N, ISYM, IPER, EVAL)

Double:                              The double precision function name is DMATEE.

Description

The eigenvalues of Mathieu's equation are computed by a method due to Hodge (1972). The desired eigenvalues are the same as the eigenvalues of the following symmetric, tridiagonal matrix:

 

Here,

 

where

 

Since the above matrix is semi-infinite, it must be truncated before its eigenvalues can be computed. Routine MATEE computes an estimate of the number of terms needed to get accurate results. This estimate can be overridden by calling M2TEE with NORDER equal to the desired order of the truncated matrix.

The eigenvalues of this matrix are computed using the routine EVLSB found in the IMSL MATH/LIBRARY Chapter 2.

Comments

1.         Workspace may be explicitly provided, if desired, by use of M2TEE/DM2TEE. The reference is

CALL M2TEE (Q, N, ISYM, IPER, EVAL, NORDER, WORKD, WORKE)

The additional arguments are as follows:

NORDER — Order of the matrix whose eigenvalues are computed.   (Input)

WORKD — Work vector of size NORDER.   (Input/Output)
If EVAL is large enough then EVAL and WORKD can be the same vector.

WORKE — Work vector of size NORDER.   (Input/Output)

Type Code
